"Bat it's a bear; band -as you can see. Whereas tea but no doubt you know bow it is. Tea to be right must be coaxed never pommeled. Wooed with the ferr er of a sophomore's devotion, the craft of a prosecuting attorney, the lightness of a candidate's promise, the stealth of a Jealous woman and the common sense of your great grandmother. That makes tea, so to speak; some thins to 'down climbing sorrow you remember King Lear? and invoke the muse?" Eve shook with laughter, though her eyes were puzzled. It seemed such a lot of intellect to waste upon herself did he al ways talk this way? She decided to ask him. hoping he would not be offended. "You see it seems to me you ought to write all that down so it wouldn't be forgotten. Or is it Just -your way I mean of letting people kaow what you thiak? "Only on Mondays when Lady Lack sends me such a charming guest. And now, since you're so kind " She had not said she would make bis tea. But he led the way to a low, shadowy living room where a kettle .hung over an alco hol lamp and a tea service was upon a little table all ready for use. From a stack of cups and sau cers this amazing young man se lected two and while Eve meas ured out tea leaves and coaxed water to a boil be brought bread and butter from the next room which she took to be the kitchen and made thin little sandwiches, carefully trimming away every particle of crust and finally slic ing the bread across neatly. They sat opposite each other and while he praised the tea, de claring it to be all he had dream ed and more, she glanced about the room wondering where he had picked up the quaint old pieces of furniture, the bits of pewter, the hooked rugs. But her thoughts went back to O'Rell. He had managed to twist I hia trine lops about his Chair. j which was tilted against the wall ' and he munched sandwiches and caka and sipped tea with f ar- really be friends because we'd mar- away look in his eyes, fixing them Ler actually understand each Oth- upon tbe ceiling as if he has for-, gotten her. She remembered all at one that ha did aot know hex name; he had made no attempt to find out who she was. She had happened along, a strange girl in a grea dress, and Norwood O'Rell had Invited her to tea and she was sitting and watching him while be thought of things beyond the borisony An odd person, boyish in spite of the griy threads at his tem ples he must be more than thir ty and likeable. Taking every thing for granted so was this because he was a writer? Was It one of those "differences" Mary seemed to think so important? She began, "Tell me, Mr. O'Rell " 'Nory." he said this sleepily, not removing his eyes from the ceiling. Well " "Nory is the name. To you." "What a nice person you are." His lean shoulders moved in a slow shrug. He went on munch ing ana sipping, siaring at me ceiling. "Tell me, Nory, are folks like you-you know, writers and artier- ar tby n lot different from i folks like me? So W9 couldn't "Oh, I know." she hurried on, "there's a difference. How could you have written 'Sky Tents' for example. If you weren't different from me? But I mean well, we're not like separate species are we? Far rnart like vegetables and miners' -mething like this " He 1 t his eyet down now; untang.c .us legs and placed his feet on the floor, lighted bis pipe. And she saw that his eyes could be penetrating as well as humor ous, going through and through her as they did. "Who's been talking rot to you, dryad? The difference is in vis ion, not species. Remember Da Maurier's etory about the man who dreamed- true? We see true. Not truer than others maybe, but we stand by what we see. Not afraid of truth. That drops off a lot of useless falderals taking lite so stuff, that folks heap around themselves till they've no chance to let out what's In their souls. A little variation in atti tude! We accept life as we find it and call it good while our critics dress it In masquerade and call it rotten. Whv listen to me, dry ad" (To be continued) ram GDftCH TAKES OVER REINS MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb. 15 (AP) The tumult and the shouting over selection of a bead football coach at the University of Minnesota had died to a compar ative whisper tonight with accep tance of appointments by Herbert O. "Frits" Crisler and Elton E. "Tad" Wleman. Named head coach and assis tant, respectively, a week ago by the board of regents, Crisler and Wieman withheld their decision for nearly a week as a storm of criticism swirled about the go pher school, growing so bitter in one instance as to bring the re signations of two members of the university's sports governing bo dy, the senate committee on in tercollegiate athletics. But with acceptance of the ap pointments today, the faculty, the student body generally and alum ni members prepared to throw their full support behind the new I head coach who succt-eds Dr. Clarence Speart, director of the gopher gridiron destinies for. fiv yean, who left to coach at the. University of Oregon. PICKPOCKET SUII1 BY CHICAGO GI1IN CHICAGO. Feb. 15 (API Aa Italian identified at the detec tive bureau as Tony Lombardo. 35 year old pickpocket, was shot to death in a west side alley to night. The slaying was the first major crime on the anniversary of last Valentine day's massacre of seven gangsters. The Italian's body was found by residents attracted to the scene of the firing by several shots. The man apparently hacf been kilted with a shotgun. Another Tony Lombardo was shot to death on a crowded loop street one afternoon more than a year ago. but police said the two were not related. The man kill ed in 1928 was an ally of "Scar face Al" Capon ana head of the union Sicilian. 'Who's, been talking rot to you, dryad? ! : i CHAFTKR VTI. TJten Eve's eyes opened as wide as any girl's eyes possibly could, her mouth, fell open as. well for she was too astonished to live up to the dignity of her nineteen and a half years. But the yoftnp man apparently xw. nothing wrong about a set of teeth as even and white as hers despite the fact that her chin had dropped almost to the throat of taa .grass green frock. His lips v-eut into a twisted, whimsical smile as he talked on:, "Or maybe dryads don't drink tea? Only dew from violet cups? wait a minute though " He closed his eyes, counted solemnly to three before he opened t-iem again, peering rather anx iously. "Yes." he sighed. "You're tl'.ere. Thoupht maybe you'd be only one of the things the sun does to that hedge sometimes, you're so goldy-preen and ajl. You're not. bv any change," he demanded. "A GIRL? You know; boues, blood, frills, fluff-pthat sort of thing? They breathe and eat, do you understand, and go around snatching scalps male scalps. Of course I don't see any about you anywhere . . ." She laughed finally, walked to ward the rickety table, pressing her hands in a spasm of delight. "Of course I'm a girl! And I'll bet," she cried. "T know who you are. I'll just bet you're Norwood O'Rell. I'll bet anything you're Norwood O'Rell writing ono of your perfectly scrumptious stor ies. I know it I Just know it!" she squealed. He got up then, made a bow which laughed at her and at him self as well but still held some thing of dignity. "Discovered," he confessed. "After all these years . . . Which brings us back to the original point of argument, as it were ... Do dryads drink tea? And if so well, there's 'Flowery Japan' in the larder and some sil ly little cakes with seeds in them. Not that I wouldn't try my own hand," he went on to explain, ser- MICKEY MOUSE By IWERKS. STEP on HEft. aQ boy ','-utrs TRAVEL.'., mar GANG MAS -STILU GoT SOUP Of THE.
